SAVED FROM fi\' UNTIMaV GRAVE Seldom has a more tragic tale been told than that of this young woman, whose parents, brothers and sisters bare all died of consumption, leaving her alone to make a living as best she could. Never robust, hard work and worry soon undermined her health, when she, too, become a victim of this dreaded liisease. Shunned by friends who feared contagion, without funds, for â- he had been unable to save from her small earnings, she seemed doomed, j like the others of her family, to an untimely grave. Fortunately, she was ] discovered and sent to the' Muskoka i Free Hospital, before it was too late. where she is now doing well, with | every chance of ultimate recovery. i Appeals are now beinj: made for the I Muskoka F'ree Hospital for Consuntp- I tives to enable it to continue the great | work of caring for juat such eases as this.
